Calzone is simply a folded pizza. You make a dough (I’ve made a gluten-free and dairy-free one) and then put the filling onto one side, fold the other side of dough over the top, seal it and bake it. Here I’ve filled it with rich tomato, garlicy mushrooms, pungent basil and oozing soya cheese and…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Raspberry Cake
It’s amazing how delicious raspberries are – and how incredibly versatile. Zoë adores them, so I’ve been making the most of the raspberries available this year, and experimenting with all different types of recipes that use them. This is a lovely cake, full of the taste of summer, no matter what time of the year….
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chocolate & Pear Tart
I’m coming in late to the Pie Party (sorry!) but I wanted to share this because it truly is heavenly. A rich chocolate tart, with soft, sweet pears – and a very gooey middle. In theory, you should bake your tart until the filling is completely set but the rich, oozing middle in this one…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Spinach & Pine Nut Pastries
These really are delicious. Unfortunately I didn’t get much as Peter polished off a couple and then Zoë ate not only hers, but most of mine, too! I’ve used a lot of water in the pastry mixture because this makes it much easier to process it in a food processor, but it also means that…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Blueberry & Lime Cheesecake
This wonderful cheesecake is filled with sweet blueberries, and accented by zesty lime, rich soya cream cheese and spicy ginger biscuits. The world is filled with people who ADORE cheesecake and, having never, seriously, ever been able to eat one, I’ve now been able to join them. YAY! Delicious and stunning, and I know from…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Raspberry & Rosewater Cupcakes
These gluten-free cupcakes are truly indulgent and heavenly! The mixture is incredibly simple – just a combination of rice flour and ground almonds, along with the dairy-free margarine, sugar, eggs, gluten-free baking powder and xanthan gum. I think you have to be careful when you use ground almonds in baking – that you don’t use…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chocolate Birthday Cake
Here’s the Chocolate Birthday Cake recipe from my book, Simply Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free published today! This was inspired by one my sister made for her husband’s birthday. It’s light and moist, with dark truffley chocolate flavours and a rich, creamy icing, all covered with sweetly sharp raspberries. Happy Birthday to my book! * gluten-free, wheat-free,…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Brioche with Caramelized Peaches
This recipe is from my book, Simply Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free. When I had my baby, Zoe, I had to adapt my cooking. No more spending hours making something complicated and fiddly, or cooking whenever I felt like it. Instead, I had to find ways to make food easily (and often while holding Zoe with one arm) around…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Tomato Tart
I love baking – when I open the door of the oven and take out the finished result, it feels like I’ve created something wonderful. This tart is taken from my book Simply Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free. This might look hard – but it’s actually incredibly simple to make. You just make the pastry case, then…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Sunflower Seed Bread
I’ve revised my book The Best Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes. I originally wrote the book to cater for people who couldn’t eat gluten plus those who couldn’t eat wheat but could eat gluten – as well as those who couldn’t eat dairy. I know there are lots of people who need to avoid wheat…
